The Lahore Museum was originally established in 1865-66 on the site of the hall or
building of the 1864 Punjab Exhibition and later shifted to its present site located on The
Mall, Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan in 1894.
Rudyard Kipling‘s father, John Lockwood Kipling, was one of the earliest and most famous
curators of the museum. The next curator was K. N. Sitaram.

13. The current building of Lahore Museum
was designed by the well-known architect
Sir Ganga Ram. The Museum is the
biggest museum of the country. A number
of rooms have been under repair for a long
time and others still show a rather old-
fashioned and often rudimental display of
objects, with Urdu captions only.
14. The Architecture of Lahore Museum:
The museum compound is a distinct 2-storey structure
containing an auditorium and library, which was once
referred to as the Technical Institute. This building too is
built in red brick and is part of the original cluster of Anglo-
Mughal buildings. The ground floor is utilized as an
auditorium while the first floor houses one of the finest
antiquarian libraries in Pakistan. On the south, facing the
Mall, Lahore Museum, commonly referred to as the ajaib
ghar, one of the most impressive Anglo Mughal edifices
presents itself in all its glory.
15. The present building was constructed as a memorial of
Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria held in 1887, and
financed through a special public fund raised on the
occasion. The foundation stone of the new museum was
laid on 3 February 1890 by Prince Albert Victor, Duke of
Clarence and Queen Victoria’s grandson. On its
completion in 1894, the entire museum collection was
transferred to present building with its new name as
Jubilee Museum.
16. Collections:
Its treasure of modern paintings, arts and crafts and ethnology are a national
heritage beyond comparison. These collections attract research scholars,
students and tourists from all over the world and constitute a unique cross-
section of the cultural history of the Subcontinent.
The Museum houses artifacts from many countries and regions such as Burma,
Bhutan, Nepal, Tibet, Central Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
Main Hall of Portraits in Lahore Museum:
There is a huge and diverse array of paintings dating back to Mughal, Sikh and
British era. These are the portraits of the great Mughal kings, queens, knights,
warriors, ministers and other VIPs at that time with their brief history written under
their proud looking pictures. The museum has 20 galleries with items dating from
the Stone Age to the 20th century.
